Overview
The activities were very varied - Daily Q&A sessions with business representative of all teams and all levels - Access to Bloomberg's BCM training about financial concepts and use of the terminal - some games...:) - Global Data and Analytics Helpdesk simulation - Public speaking practice - A week-long group project using the terminal
Skills
I have developed: - my communication skills, my confidence - my ability to work in team with little guidance and time constraint - my sales skills - my knowledge of financial markets and products - basic knowledge of Bloomberg's terminal functions
Business Insight
The culture of the company was brilliantly conveyed. The staff was constantly available and answering questions on a chat. I now have a clear vision of the day to day life in each role, and I am more confident in my career choices.
Culture
Very open and collaborative, which is rare, especially online. Everyone is invited to speak, no one is encouraged to "look more clever" than the others. I even managed to create friendships with other Spring participants remotely!
Your Impressions
I really had a good time. I feel really grateful to have discovered a whole new world with Bloomberg. The financial knowledge I gained will definitely be useful in my career no matter what. I think I will stay in touch with some of the people I met. I was impressed by the background of all the employees, it was particularly motivational.
Yes
Be open, ready to ask question, ready to learn a lot. Try and know a bit more about what the different teams do before applying. I found out that most roles have a sale aspect, so it should be of interest for you. You don't need to have technical skills, so don't be afraid to apply if you don't.
